118 Fun and Easy Marriage Tips

Sometimes life gets in the way of your marriage. So many things to take care of, you forget to take care of the most important relationship that you have on the planet.

I’m guilty.

I forget that I need to communicate better.
I need to listen more intently.
I need to care about the little things.
I need to actively participate in our relationship (you only coast downhill!) .

I believe that my marriage is the most important relationship that I have in my life. So, to remind myself, and encourage you…I decided to write a list of fun and easy Marriage Tips.

I also have selected certain points on the list to highlight in other entries – Feel free to click thru to get more in depth ideas! Also, I believe that most of my ideas will cross the gender lines – so if it says “his” or “hers” – don’t get hung up on the gender, just go with the spirit of the idea and TRY IT!
